Kinship Mentoring of Columbia County
offers 2 programs: Community Mentoring &

Lunch Buddies Program

Community Mentoring

Children or youth ages 5-16 living or attending school in Columbia County with an identified need are matched with a caring adult. They are matched according to location, similar interests, and personalities. The time commitment is approximately 2-4 hours per month with a one-year commitment. The Mentor and Mentee will enjoy exploring fun in the community - going fishing, visiting the library, playing at a park, hiking a trail, enjoying some ice cream, or at the mentor's house baking, playing board games, drawing, puzzles, etc. We encourage the mentors to have their mentee try new things and experiences!
